Illustrator, performer, walker of the hills at dusk, lunatic. I get paper dirty professionally. As it is said in Hookland, Re-enchantment is resistance.

Goodnight.
Goodnight from Tony Wrox, realising that stealing an item labelled ‘The Ghost Child’s mirror’ from the Crowhythe Museum of Curiosities was always going to be a mistake. Goodnight from Bethany Butterfield, eager for morning and its possibility of frost lace divinations. Goodnight from Hookland.

Never been more important to buy from craftspeople, painters, potters, illustrators, makers, carpenters, bakers and the like. Seek them out, follow them, support them and buy their goods. Use them or lose them etc etc

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I *think* I have coloured it in such a way that the sense of gloom is not diminished but there are hints of decayed finery in the landscape. I am, however, running a bit of a fever. Will look again tomorrow.

Goodnight to us all.
Goodnight from Danny Trower, already feeling it was a mistake to meet at the Hawgate Trading Estate to discuss the selling of Faery bones. Goodnight from Joan Letts, afraid to lift the curtains and look out in case its the Wicker King knocking on her caravan door. Goodnight from Hookland.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

We remember, but we don't talk.
Best that way.

People don't like to talk about the time when the trees of Whirlow Wood grew wooden people to send as emissaries to Barwell village. People don't talk about the Treaty of the Axe. The ongoing offerings. – Ruth Hyde #VOH

Goodnight from The Ghost Bear’s Bowl pub, where there’s much talk about what the oil extraction company up at Trotton Grove might disturb. Goodnight from Ali Weaver, wishing her mother wouldn’t tell the children stories about the Hairy Pike at bedtime. Goodnight from Hookland.

Again, so strangely comforting.
Cheers me in an odd old way.

November’s early darkness enfolds us. The smell of applewood fires and rot is a constant companion at twilight. We hurry between home and evensong, home and pub. Ghosts crowd the lanes, our folklore becomes filled with tales of cold teeth. Winter begins to growl. - #CLNolan
